Quotable Quotes:

"Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing ever happened."

"(On reuniting with his ex-The Partridge Family (1970), series' star/real-life stepmother, Shirley Jones, who was asked to guest-star in Ruby & the Rockits (2009)): We paid her a lot of money. She is a wonderful actress. People forget she won an Academy Award. When I was young, she taught me a lot how to deal with the pressure and the fame, because she became a star when she was 18. I was 19." (IMDB)

"When he was just 17, he reformatted his bike to take on the chaos of the inner city and then took on the mundanes of music industry. He was luckier than most, but he also faced the realities of life in the music business. Cassidy died of a heart attack at the age of 45 while on tour in Japan. (V)"
